ASEAN Engineering Journal Formatting Requirements

Papers submitted to the ASEAN Engineering Journal should not only present interesting
technical material and be well written, they also must be formatted properly. All paper
should be submitted in the Word format (.doc) and its size should be contained under 10
MB. You are advised to reduce the size/ resolution of figures in the paper if they lead to the

Figures in the paper may be in color; however, the journals will be printed in black and
white only. Check that the resolution is adequate (300 dpi) to reveal the important detail in
the figure. Please check all figures in your paper both on screen and on a black-and-white
